Pretty flowers

Hello! I decided to give making chiffon flowers a try and discovered I love them! I started with 2 discarded zebra print sleeves & some orange scraps:
Which I then cut into as many circles as I could. I put two circles together, folded into 1/4 then stitched them together at each point in a chain using my machine beacause I am no fan of hand sewing! Then I turned them round to create the flowers & stitched together once again on my sewing machine to hold the layers together. I then handstiched ribbon from my stash to the underside and these are the finished flowers:
The orange one can be worn as a headband, choker, or belt & the zebra print one can be worn as both a headband or choker.

The next one I made from a small scrap of polkadot fabric from my stash. I cut long ovals, pinched them in the middle and stitched them together in a chain:
I twisted them around to make the flowers & stitched right through the middle, adding the smaller flower on top. I then added stretch lace to the underside to make a sweet headband:

Hope you like them! Huli
